Im using tracktion on a mac g4 867mhz power book with 640mb of ram and im getting pops and dropouts playing back a really simple project with 3 midi tracks each playing tracktions sampler, all using the same preset which has 5 drum sounds. Any ideas on what the problem is?
I notice that the cpu meter jumps up a tiny bit when these dropouts occur, but only to about 18% or so...
getting clicks, pops and dropouts

im using built in audio. i have no idea what the driver is... whatevers default i guess. the latency in tracktion is set to default as well, 896 samples.
should i change the latency?

what kind of driver the soundcard is using should be listed in your tracktion prefs
i rekon latencey aswell put it up to like 10ms or so if that dont fix it get a pc so i can help more pmwl (that was a joke but i have no mac so i cant realy help)

What version of OSX? ...Depending on how big the samples are, the sampler can drag down the cpu worse than some VSTs... I noticed this using the sampler for mutiple drum tracks... Tracktion has been developed lately on Panther, so no telling what it will do with Jaguar running? I used to run it on a G4 1.25ghz with Panther, and built-in audio no problem, at around 512... so that does sound like unusually high cpu usage... Have any USB devices for audio running?
